People should spend alone time to listen to their inner voice and figure out what’s best for them. It’s great that you spend 15-20 minutes every night. I know that in that alone time you have realized some thing you couldn’t have otherwise. Everyone should be independent and able to take care of themselves if the time ever presents itself, because it can come by surprise trust me.
Not to long ago I was just getting out of jail, and I didn’t have anywhere to go. My family turned there backs to me and I was left homeless for about a month. It took me a good month to get back on my feet. That was the most embarrassing and hardest time in my life. I was at an all time low the only point in my life that was lower than that was when I was behind bars.
Thanks to God grace I was able to get a job and get back on my feet. I learned a lot from that period in my life, like how to survive without much money, and the real meaning of doing whatever it takes to eat.For years I to believed that being alone was the best route for me, business wise. As I look back, I used that ideology as a defensive mechanism to keep myself from being let down by others, and protected from bad dealings. What this did really did for me was keep me from experiencing larger opportunities. Now, I’m speaking from my own experience – which surely isn’t gold – but I wanted to share that with you.
I think we must harbor the ability to be self-reliant, but there’s a power out there that lurks behind a mastermind alliance. There is nothing that can beat a team that’s all on the same page & level. The only reason I say learn to be alone is, because you never know what the future holds. If your business venture fails and your left alone then you will know how to take care of yourself.
I also think that we all need a support network around us if we really want things to kick off.
Having the power to make your own decisions whenever you want is great but if there are others involved (say employees). Then really whatever decision is made has to balance out and take in the implications on those people as well. Employees are a form of support network as my following is a support network to me.
I think everyone could benefit from support. Shoot I would like all the support I can get, because support will boost your motivation and inspiration.
You want to always be in a position where you can make your own decision and not have someone else make them for you. When you are with a team you still make decisions, but as you said you have to have the well fare of the whole team at mind.
Someday I will have my own team and you better believe it will be a unbeatable team! Until then I’m going to keep teaching myself how to handle business on my own. In my opinion that’s what everyone needs to be able to do. Hope you feel where I’m coming from.
I am a firm believer in the benefits in working on your own. My alone time is the time where my vision seems to be the clearest and the sharpest. I use my peers to fine tune my skills and make sure I put my best foot foward but my alone time is priceless. The truth is self support is paramount if you want to be sucessful at anything because unfortunatly people can change like the weather.
Everyone loves you when you are on top but no one seems to want to help you when you fall on hard times. Thank God for grace because at times when I felt the most alone is when I drew closer to him and he directed my path. I am glad I was able to read and learn from your experience.
I totally get where your coming from, because I value my alone time just as much as you. It is also when my vision is clear. I have not had the opportunity to test my vision with a team, but I bet it’d be even more clear! The alone time you have is priceless because it’s your time to make YOUR moves the way YOU want them to be made with no one to tell you other wise.
God is always with you no matter how alone you feel. That is something I had to learn, because he surely helped me outta ah many ah jams!
I read somewhere that a full Bucket can not collect water, being alone is like emptying your bucket – so you can collect more, so investing time alone is a golden opportunity for tapping into your true potential. I couldn’t of said it better myself really dude! You just summarized my whole article in a few words. You have a talent for grabbing the meaning out of people’s writing. Excellent job on making the perfect comparison. I’m most surely going to be on the look out for you my man!
If you can be productive with no one around you’re on the way to progression, and that is vital to entrepreneurship. It’s difficult to fight our natural instincts of being managed and being led but you’re right; it’s a key element in entrepreneurship. Being disciplined enough to manage your time effectively goes against all our years of structured schooling, deadlines, and then 9-5 work days. We’re capable, we just have to be willing.
In the entrepreneur life you’re the leader of your own pack, a ‘one-man show one pack wolf’. You cannot trust anyone, so don’t spoil you plans, keywords, projects, etc. with anyone because there is a tough life, a war zone on the online world. In order to get on the top, you need to start from down and work as hard as possible, it is essential. One good tip and thing good to be kept in mind is that we all need to stay motivated, me, you, everybody. In order to do our jobs good and constantly, we need a motivation for doing it, any type of motivation.
